NONE. At strategic points throughout the villages they have sunken bins for household refuse (black bags), paper, plastic and aluminium and glass. Anything other than that must be taken to the recycling centre. At first I HATED it but now I love it. They are not unsightly and it means you can get rid of your rubbish any time you want.Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-59877171641170299752019-04-27T14:00:37.482+01:002019-04-27T14:00:37.482+01:00We compost, burn, and recycle.

One Boxing Day we took a walk along our lane and found two plastic carrier bags by the side of the road, both full with someone's Christmas rubbish. The remains of the turkey carcass plus wrapping paper and other detritus. What made it worse is that the bags were only a few yards from a small parking area where there are two rubbish bins.
